Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

Is there a way to recover corrupted psd. files?

I recently transferred all my work from a work computer to my mac at home. i am unable to access my work computer until October as we are having a 'break'. However, I have a deadline for September 15th and I need all my files.
Some older files open perfectly fine but I fear there was a problem in downloading-perhaps due to my haste to leave and enjoy the beautiful weather!
I tried downloading a Remo Repair software but unfortunately this was unable to launch. Is there program out there that you would recommend in this instance for me to recover my psd files-which are of great importance!
Any help would be appreciated
Basic notes:
Created on Windows computer cs5
Trying to open on Mac cs5
Sd card used to transfer-couldn't eject, this may be the problem

It is most difficult to recover a corrupted file. Many have tried but almost all end up in failure. Try opening in another program. IF you can then "save as" and you can probably open in PS.
Do you have a backup? Do you still have original files on Win computer? These are your best bets. It is too late for these files, but I think you can see the necessity of having a backup on a separate HD or even on a disk.

Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 crash upon save, leaves small sized corrupt PSD file

Hi!
I've just updated our retouchers Photoshop CS4 to 11.0.1 but one of the issues we had with 11.0.0 remains. The problem doesn't happen that often, but since the result is an unusable .PSD file it's pretty nasty...
Sometimes when saving Photoshop crashes and the .PSD that was to be saved becomes a small (68 KB in the last example) and unusable.
The hardware/software we have:
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz (some with 5 GB RAM and some with 9 GB RAM)
Mac OS X 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4 Standard (updated to 11.0.1)
People work on server volumes shared via AFP. I've heard saving over the network isn't supported, but there's no other way, plus this issue never happened in CS3 so...
Any ideas on what can be done?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that
normally, it does work
, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

How do I recover a corrupt PSD file?

My last save of a 1.5GB PSD file went without a hitch. Routine save, as I always do before closing Photoshop (using CTRL-S). The save was not interrupted in any way, nor did it behave differently than it did the previous 100 times I saved this particular file.
However, upon reloading, now the progress bar stalls at appx. 30% before the thing gives me a disk error.
I have 600GB and 700GB free on both of my hard drives, so disk space is not the problem.
I tried loading the file with both Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 64-bit Edition. Both produce the same results. Disk error.
Rebooting did not change anything.
I tried copying the file to another location, but I get a "Cannot read from source disk" error.
But it's there, seemingly full size, with two weeks worth of work in it.
I ran a Google search for PSD recovery tools, and there are several commercial products claiming to be able to help. But I wanted to know if Adobe provided one first, then if anyone ever tried any of the other tools out there and saw it actually work.
Thanks!

I mean, these are all "Bad Block" disk errors. What's the worst that can happen?
What non-Windows repair tools have I advised you to use? I suggested a full System Image backup, using Windows Backup.
It's not a software problem, it's a confirmed hardware failure. Software repair tools will not fix it. This is experience talking.
The worst that can happen is that the drive will fail completely and you will lose all your data. And yes, even Caviar Black drives do fail.
If something under the hood of your car goes boom and you lose power, do you just floor it to maintain speed so that you can keep driving? No. You stop immediately, to take the stress off your engine so that you don't compound the problem. Something like a CHKDSK /R would exercise heck out of your drive - the very thing that's failing. Is that really what you want?

How do I retrieve a corrupted psd file that opens up as a black layer?

The preview of the picture still appears when I select it in Photoshop, and even appears for a few seconds in Adobe Bridge before going back to black. But nothing I tried, from restore plug ins to online retrieve systems (that tried to bring back individual layers, only accounting to a single black layer and a bunch of blank ones) worked. I'd really like to get the picture back, or at least a png of it, but I'm at loss for what to try next. I use Cs5.1 64 bits, if anyone needs to know...

I solved the problem, actually! Although yesterday it didn't show, today previous versions for restore were available and it restored back my picture to an earlier date. Lost a few days of work but I'm relieved it's all back now...

Photoshop cc save corrupted psd file....

This is new, I was working on a multi layer picture last night, and after I save it and close it, I cannot open it anymore today..
Photoshop gave me warning: "could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
EDIT: ok i have fixed it using Gimp 2.
One of my layer corrupted for no reason, I guess photoshop didn't save it properly last night.
Thanks godness

SpeedGrade CC (2014) corrupting .psd files sent as clips from Prem Pro CC(2014)

I have embedded a Photoshop CC file (.psd) in a Prem Pro CC sequence. Each time I link the sequence to SpeedGrade, making sure I don't interfere with the .psd clip, the clip is returned to Prem Pro corrupted and have to restruscture and reinstall each time.
Is there something that I can do to prevent this or is this a bug?
Thanks in advance.

How can I restore a corrupted PSD file (MacOs 10.7.5 - Photoshop CS6)

Hi,
after working with a lot of layers, masks and clipping layers my file got corrupted. That happened in the past but I always found a way to fix it buy copying uncorrupted layers to a new file. Most of the time it was just one layer corrupted. But this time is big, it looks like the whole file is corrupted. Find attached how the file looks after corrupting.
It's a big piece of work where I've already spent a good amount of time. Any tip to recover the file?
Thanks.

It's in your Time Machine. Just go back before the corruption happened and retreive it.

Corrupt PSD files when saving from MacBook Pro

Hey all,
I have a 17" 2.33ghz MacBook Pro that I've had for over a year. Once in a while I use the notebook to do work in Photoshop and then save the PSD over the network to a hard drive in my PowerMac G5.
Then, when I go to open the file on the PowerMac later Photoshop says that it can not open the file because it's not a valid Photoshop Document.
Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening? I have confirmed that I haven't left the file open on the MBP when trying to access it from the other computer, so that's not the issue.

This issue is well documented and fixed in the OS 10.5.4 update released this week.

Something is wrong with some of my PSD files when I save them?

I am working with Photoshop Cs5 extended, and I have had it for about a year, I work in Windows 7. I was working on a comic when my scanner broke so I took pieces of the skecthes I drew instead to paint them in photoshop with my cannon powershot camera. I open the documents and they saved fine, then when I open the last 2 images from my camera in photoshop and saved them as a PSD file and they appeared as white sheets in my folder, and when I right clicked to open them this menu came up and asked me where I wanted to open it, I clicked photoshop and got a message in Photoshop saying " cannot open because document is not compatiable" or something like that. So I tried saving a random document and it saved as a normal PSD file.
I am just wondering can anyone help explain what is going on? is it Photoshop, are the files corrupted? and will Photoshop continue to do this with every file I save?
I also backed up my existing files with dropbox.
-thank you.

Is this the thumbnail or the image? If viewing in Bridge and the icon is white it probably means you have named it incorrectly. Anything you put after a dot is considered an extenstion. So if you have ssss.drawing.psd it will look for the extension drawing.

Random text appearing as bold when creating PDF from Photoshop CS5

Hi I am a relative newcomer to Photoshop CS5. I have been creating a document with a background image layer and a couple of text box layers. The font is set at Arial, italic, sharp. When I save the document as a PDF file, random words appear in bold. I have tried deleting these words in the PSD document text layer and retyping them but they still appear as bold in the PDF file. Interestingly when I save as a JPEG image the bold words appear as normal. Any ideas/ tips would be greatly appreciated. CS5 version is 12.0.4 and OS is Windows XP.

Repairing damaged adobe photoshop .psd files?

One of my project folders got deleted in a freak accident. I won't go into it, but I recovered one of the .psd files using a commercial undelete program (Fast File Undelete from DTI Data). It didn't work (go figure) and whenever I try to open the .psd file photoshop (7.0) shows a message box that says, "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" When I click the Read Composite Data button another box shows that reads, "Could not open '[file name]' because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop."
It seems kind of like it is very close to working, because there is even a thumbnail. I also recovered a handful of .jpg's and .tga's, which are also broke. Does anyone know of a utility that could attempt to repair a .psd, .tga or .jpg?

SECOND FREE SOLUTION:
Sometimes Photoshop is adding a few bytes in the beginning of the file when the file is saved, and then the same Photoshop is giving an error and complains about that files... All you have to do is to delete that unnecessarily group of bytes.
Assuming that you already know what is a HEX editor and how to use it I'll write here a few steps you can do before opening a "corrupt" PSD file:
1 - Make a back-up (copy) of the file before making any changes.
2 - Open the "corrupted" file in an usual HEX editor (NOT text editor!) and look for such groups of character just in the beginning: 8BPS and after a few bytes 8BIM another group of bytes and again 8BIM.
3 - This succession should be respected strictly: 8BPS ... 8BIM ... 8BIM. These groups should be very close to each other and it's easy to find them.
4 - Delete all bytes before 8BPS group (Shift+Delete) and save the file... =)
5 - Open it in Photoshop and Enjoy.

How can I access the thumbnail/preview image of a PSD file?

Hey guys I'm trying to salvage some work from a corrupted PSD file via the thumbnail. What happened was I saved my work and closed photoshop and hit the reset button on my PC afterwards by mistake (i dont see why this caused a problem because the program was fully closed at the time). When I open the file now it says it uses an unsupported blending mode, if i press ok I get an error saying incompatible PS version, if I press flatten it says unexpected end of file was encountered. Ive tried PSD repair tools and searched the net for solutions and there doesnt seem to be any - Ive pretty much given up on trying to repair the original file.
The thing is, the thumbnail of the file seems to be intact because I can still see it as the file icon. I wanted to know if there was any way i can access this thumbnail image so i can enlarge it. Any help would be very appreciated!!

I have an idea to try... Earlier I mentioned the Windows Picture Viewer... Normally that won't read PSD files, but I'm used to using that to look into PSD files because at one point I bought the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack.
Something to try, and it won't cost anything:
1. Try downloading and installing the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack from here: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
2. Once it's installed you get a free trial period, so you can try opening your PSD file by right-clicking on it and choosing Preview.
If that fails, here's another thing to try:
Open the Bridge component of Photoshop and navigate to the folder in which you have the file. It may be able to make a larger thumbnail than the one you're seeing.
Other than that, are you saying you're seeing the thumbnail in Windows Explorer? If that's the case, what happens if you right-click in the white space near the file and choose View - Extra Large Icons?

I can't open up a specific .psd file in Photoshop cs6.

     Well, there's a specific file I can't open. I've worked on it previously, but a week later, and it won't open. All of my other PS CS6 files are intact, and will open immediately. However, this one file takes so long to load (2+ hours) that I end up restarting my computer in order to work on all of my other things. The size isn't the issue, either; it's only 70 megabytes, as opposed to some of my more heavy-duty files that run upwards 200 megabytes.
     I'm thinking about opening it on another computer to see what happens, but I'm concerned about the fact that I can't open this particular file. I'm not sure if it's corrupted, based on the fact that it just sits on my computer and just tells me that it's loading.
     Is there something I can do to make it open, or modify the file? I've already tried defragging my computer and other things, and I'm at a loss here. I really don't want to start working on this from scratch, so I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Unfortunately, few have ever had much luck rescuing information from corrupted PSD files.
Do you have a backup?
